Biden Officially Funds Putin’s War

Leave a comment

At this point in time, Joey, you know the only guy to go “toe to toe with Putin“, is still dragging his feet about the US divesting from Russian oil. We import around 670,000 barrels of oil PER DAY from Vladimir, because of Joey’s green energy policies.  The Biden administration has said this is only a small percentage of the 20 Million barrels of oil per day the US consumes.  Chump change.  Let’s look at how much chump change we give to Putin in JUST ONE YEAR.

The purchase of 670,000 barrels per day at the current price of $120 per barrel means we will give Putin almost $29,346,000,000.00 yes almost $30 BILLION DOLLARS per year to fund his war machine.

What could the Ukrainians buy if they had $30 BILLION?

2 Gerald Ford class nuclear powered AIRCRAFT CARRIERS or,
14 Aleigh Burke class DESTROYERS or,
293 Apache HELICOPTERS or,
917 Reaper DRONES or,
2,934 Abrahams TANKS or,
195,640 Hellfire MISSILES.

The money could be used to purchase more of the weapons that the Ukrainians are currently using:

167,497 Javelin ANTI-TANK MISSILES or,
244,550 Stinger ANTI_AIRCRAFT MISSILES

Or for bigger missile attacks you could buy 20 complete PATRIOT MISSILE SYSTEMS which would give the Ukrainians the ability to shoot down 1,680 Russian missiles.

But Joey would rather give it to Putin.

BEFORE the invasion of Ukraine, Joe Biden and his minions (or handlers?) including Kamala, Psaki, Blinken, Kirby, et al, all snarkily said the THREAT of SANCTIONS is a DETERRENT to Putin commencing his invasion. When asked why they needed to wait until an invasion started before sanctioning Putin, they all said, “You silly people, unless we have the THREAT of SANCTIONS we won’t deter Putin from invading Ukraine“.  How well did that work out for them?  The smart snarky people should have slammed the sanctions as he was massing his troops and weapons on the border BEFORE the invasion. Now that they’ve applied the sanctions as Putin invades Ukraine, the great minds of diplomacy have forced a SINGLE PATH for Putin. His only option is to seize Ukraine, AT ANY COST, 

I continue to believe (my thoughts HERE) that Putin wants Ukraine in order to place a stranglehold on Europe by controlling all the energy into the continent. Why is his hand forced to seize Ukraine AT ANY COST? The coalition that Joe says he pulled together to sanction Putin is already starting to harm Russia. The ruble is rubble. It has dropped about 40% in value. Their trading markets have been equally hammered.  Putin’s oligarch friends and supporters are financially targeted and their assets are being seized.

Will the sanctions be lifted immediately if Putin says, “My police safety action is over and I will be withdrawing my forces from Ukraine“?

No.

The sanctions will stay in place until the diplomats receive some concessions from Putin. Therefore,  he failed to seize Ukraine. He doesn’t have his stranglehold on Europe. His economy is in shambles. He had to give up something militarily. The assets of his oligarch supporters have been seized.  Putin most likely will be taken out with a coup, likely executed, and a possible Russian civil war may occur during the power vacuum. Given that scenario, what do you think his OPTIONS are? I see only the one for Putin. To win AT ANY COST.

I’m just a guy writing down his thoughts. I hope the ‘experienced adults in the room’ as the Biden administration likes to call themselves, will pull a MIRACLE out of their collective asses to save the people of Ukraine by ending this war. I’m not holding my breath.

Advice For The President

Leave a comment

I described how this war in Ukraine is a battle by Putin to economically control Europe. You can read it HERE.  Europe created this problem by “suckling on the teat of cheap Russian gas“. The United States and allies at this point must counter the EVIL PUTIN and his regime. The response from the current administration has been wishy-washy at best and in my opinion, wrong.

Here’s what I would recommend that Joe Biden say and MOST IMPORTANTLY, DO.

Joe Biden must lead as President of the United States and leader of the Free World. I would have him take the following actions.
Hold and address to the Nation from the actual OVAL OFFICE, not the fake set he usually uses. At his desk he needs to say this to our country and the world,

“Fellow Americans, we are in a battle of good versus evil.  Tonight I am going to tell you the steps we will take to punish and break the backs of Putin and his cronies. Putin is dependent on his oil and gas to fund his worldwide reign of terror. To end the monstrous actions of this dictator I will be taking immediate action. I will immediately invalidate some of my previous executive orders and allow for the following, permit fracking where previously banned, resume drilling and pumping of oil on federal lands, open up oil exploration, remove any restrictions I may have placed on the oil and gas industry, and finish the Keystone XL pipeline. We will shut off the mechanism that permits Putin to declare war on sovereign nations.”

“We will also resume construction of the border wall to secure our Nation from terrorist infiltration that may accelerate as a result of these actions.“

“There will be a personal cost to all of us. Fuel prices will rise. Energy prices will increase. Supply chain issues will become worse. Cost of goods will rise. I’m not here tonight to paint a false rosy picture but to give you an honest assessment of what will happen as We The People of the United States are fighting EVIL. I know the will and the grit of the American People and I do not take these action lightly as we come together as a nation. Thank you and God Bless America.“

The greenies will start to scream about the world ending if the President takes these action. Bernie Sanders will condemn Biden.  Little Greta will waggle her finger.   Biden should then take the next step and hold a press conference where he says this,

“To the Squad and Senator Sanders, Go fuck yourselves. We have a war to fight.“

I suspect if Biden held these two press events and took action, his approval rating would skyrocket.
